The Brewster Ponds Coalition participated in the Brewster Chamber of Commerce’s 2024 “Eco Expo” at the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History on February 20, during school vacation week. We helped celebrate the ecological and economic benefits of “going green," highlighting the work that BPC does in protecting and improving the health of Brewster's ponds through science, education and advocacy. A fun time was had by adults and children alike. Left photo above: BPC representatives Marietta Nilson, Susan Bridges, Kristi Dondlinger, Nancy Ortiz, and Marcia Kelb as "Shelly the Turtle."
